Tibey has turned into a very powerful Godfather type who rules his world and those who touch it. Costner can't help but notice his old friend's incredibly beautiful young wife (Madeleine Stowe) and before long they're involved in some sizzling hoochie-coo at the risk of being discovered by Mendes. Mendes eventually catches on and exacts a painful and cruel punishment on the reclusive lovers caught in their lustful liaison. Costner vows a pay-back and the last part of the movie involves his attempt to achieve it. ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews

Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
gritty, tense, and easily worth watching.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Narratively stunted but handsomely directed tale of, well, REVENGE!
Nell Minow, Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Positively one of the worst movies ever made, though Stowe is, as always, luminously lovely.
Clint Morris, Moviehole
I'm seeking it for making me sit through this whole thing

Apparently, there is no law enforcement in Mexico. or thats what this movie wants me to believe.

A tragic love story with an unexpected ending for me. I know many find Costner a little cheesy, but I happen to find he has been in some really good films, this one included. All in all a pretty decent film.

I remember seeing this many years ago & hating it well I just saw it for the second time and it's not that bad, Has some good moments & the music score is beautiful

A stylish, compelling , sexy and exciting thriller. A great story of forbidden love, passion and betrayel. Kevin Costner is teriffic. Anthony Quin is powerful. Tony Scott is a master filmmaker.
Tim S

Kevin Costner plays a guy with balls instead of playing a guy who plays with balls!
xGary X

Nasty revenge thriller featuring a miscast Costner who is routinely acted off the screen by Anthony Quinn, and garish direction from Tony Scott. Ugly.
Dean M

An underrated romantic thriller, with strong atmosphere and a sense of doom.

Takes a loooooooooooooooooong time to get going, but Madeleine Stowe is hot.

This alongside 'True Romance' are my favorites by Tony Scott.
